[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 2205330, member: 30671"] One big advantage to a mono in good material is how fast they can be spun, and driven. My 6.5 Ultracat will drive a Hammer Hunter to 3960 fps through a 1-6" twist Bartlein Barrel, with excellent results.. With the correct material low velocity expansion to 1800 fps is the norm. This puts the useful range in this bullet/cartridge combo from zero to 1000 plus yards. Fouling isn't an issue with this material in my experience either. I can't speak to Berger, but can say from experience fast twist on older cup core bullets when pushed is neither good for accuracy, exterior ballistics, or terminal performance. Devils in the details, incorrect barrels may be an issue. Easier to just blame the bullet portion of the equation, and nothing wrong with changing to a more suitable bullet its cheaper than a barrel change. It is important to understand as well as possible there are many factors in what we observe we may forget. [/QUOTE]
